Mapping CAPS LOCK to CONTROL is another popular option. But I suspect when one takes into account the entire population of computer users, CAPS LOCK remains CAPS LOCK and likely largely unused.

I use CAPS LOCK as language switch button.

I use ⌘-1/⌘-2 for English/Russian layouts. It's better than using a switch key because it's deterministic - you don't need to look at the layout indicator or whatnot.
